Introduction to KA-SAT


The Eutelsat “KA-SAT” Satellite

• Launched End of December 2010

• Operational since May 2011

• Orbital position: 9°E

• Frequency band: Ka


Multispot Ka-Band Coverage

• Coverage: 82 beams

• Full European Coverage

• Total capacity: 70 Gbps (up to 475Mbps per Spot)


• An integrated system for the provision of Broadband Internet Connectivity to residential users via bidirectional affrodable User Terminals

The KA-SAT main Target

KA-SAT @ 9°East

Tooway™ Kit


Multispot Ka-Band Coverage

• Coverage: 82 beams

• Full European Coverage

• Total capacity: 70 Gbps (up to 475Mbps per Spot)

4 Colours = 4 Freq/Pol Slots repeated all over coverage

82 Beams

Frequencies are reused 20 times


A closer look to a Beam

19,7 – 20,2 GHz

~250 MHz

FWD

Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also “FWD” Capacity)


A closer look to a Beam

Each Single Beam is fed via KA-SAT with ~250 MHz of Bandwidth (called also “FWD” Capacity)

Terminals within a Beam have available ~250 MHz of “RTN” Capacity for transmitting back to KA-SAT

There are 82 Beams from KA-SAT. As each one is fed with ~250 MHz of bandwidth, it comes that KA-SAT Satellite must be fed with 82 x 250 MHz ~ 20 GHz (!)

29,5 – 30 GHz ~250 MHz

RTN


How is it possible to Feed KA-SAT with 20 GHz

of Info?

• It is possible only reusing more than one time the same Slot of Frequency (example: 10 times

the same slot of 2 GHz)


Dedicated Ground Infrastructure

8 “Gateways” (9m + 500 Watt Earth Stations)

Operated by the Italian Subsidiary Skylogic

Fiber ring fully redunded (20 GB + 20 GB)

News Gathering via Satellite

and the IP Revolution:

why is KA-SAT so innovative for SNG?


OU Data Gathering: Ka Advantages

• 1st Consideration: EFP (Electronic Field Production) equipment are becoming cheaper and

cheaper (they have become already, actually…)

~35-80 k€ ~3-8 k€



• 2nd Consideration: The EFP/ENG WorkFlow has moved from Tape to Memory-Card with -

again - significant reductions in cost and a seamless integration into IP networks



• Result: EFP production requires today a very limited investment and is seamlessly integrated

into IP Networks; EFP systems can today be deployed in large volumes by Broadcasters due to

their improved affordability

+ + =

Light +

Cheap + IP

• So, Broadcasters are looking for Cheap and Light systems, providing IP

connectivity, as an ideal complement of today’s EFP System for News Gathering


The Concept to its extremes...

• The Ideal Complement of the “Extremely Light” Digital Workflow

• An highly portable, light, compact terminal, IP native, performant for LIVE

Video and FILE Push

( + )


Characteristics of NewsSpotter

Light • easy to transport (backpack possible)

• easy to manage

Performant (up to 20 Mbit)

• perfect for most applications (also HD)

High Availability

• perfect for Occasional Use

Perfect for OU Newsgathering

IP • perfect integration into IP workflows

Booking

Jan

Getypte tekst

Perfect combination from 3G and Tooway with Mobile Vieuwpoint


Booking

• The Service is fully operated by Skylogic, the

Italian Subsdiary of Eutelsat based in Turin

• Skylogic NOC also provides Support in case of

Troubleshooting


Booking

• Web-based Self-Booking

– Each Customer is provided with access to a Service

Webportal (OSS)

– The portal provides informations on all terminals

belonging to the Customer

• Alive, Off, Configuration, Rate, Beam etc...


Booking

• Booking is done on the web via the Skylogic OSS Portal

– The Customer specifies

• The User Terminal he uses (each UT is uniquely identified by its MAC

Address)

• The location from where he will be doing the Contribution (used to determine

the Beam)

– NOTE: NewsSpotter Terminals are not limited to work from a single

Beam, they can work from ALL of the Beams (“Beamless”

Configuration)

• The Timeslot of the Contribution

• The Bitrate he requires on the RTN and on the FWD link

• If the Terminal is not Booked, it will still get connectivity and will be forwarded to the

OSS Booking page

– This allows the SNG to go on site in case of Breaking News, deploy the antenna,

and perform an “immediate” booking


Booking (1/2)

Commercial Model

• We are not selling MHz, we are selling GBytes

– The Customer pays the transferred Volume instead of the Frequency slot

used

• Example

– 1 hour of transfer @ 4Mbps = 1.8 GBytes

Volume transferred in 1 hour

Transfer bit-rate Volume transferred

1 Mbps 0.45 GB

2 Mbps 0.9 GB

4 Mbps 1.8 GB

8 Mbps 3.6 GB

12 Mbps 5.4 GB

Time to transfer 1 GB

Transfer bit-rate Time to transfer

1 Mbps 2h13

2 Mbps 1h07

4 Mbps 33 min

8 Mbps 17 min

12 Mbps 11 min


Commercial Model

• The Service can be marketed in 2 main modes

– Occasional Use Committed via Booking

– Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP

Connect)


1 - Commercial Model - Occasional Use via

Booking

• The Customer purchases Volume, and he uses it “little by little” when doing contribution with its fleet of terminals

– It’s like filling a tank with gasoline

– The faster the car, the higher the Gasoline consumption (the higher the transmission rate, the higher the volume consumed)

• Increased flexibility

– A terminal can work at different speed on different dates

– The individual Terminal does not have any FAP

• The model foresee monthly “Traffic Plans”

– Monthly plan specifies a monthly volume

– The higher the Volume engagement of the Plan, the lower the price

– The sum of the volume used during the month by Customer Fleet will be accounted and billed out of the Monthly Plan


• Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP Connect)

– Throughput is permanently (24/24 and 365/365)

reserved for Customer’s use

– on a Beam per Beam basis

– Available to the entire Population of Terminals of the

Customer

– DOES NOT require booking, but the Customer must

take care that his population is not overloading the

available throughput

2 - Commercial Model - Permanent Reserved CIR

– Price is per Mbit per Beam per month (minimum initial

engagement: 12 months, then monthly extension)


2 - Commercial Model - Permanent Reserved CIR

• Permanently Reserved CIR per Beam (IP Connect)

– Example: An Italian broadcaster purchases

• 20 Mbit from the Spot covering Rome

• 14 Mbit from the Spot covering Milan

20 Mbit =

• 2 Terminals @ 10 Mbit each or

• 4 Terminals @ 5 Mbit each or

• …any combination not overspilling 20 Mbit

Key advantages

Dawson GC-Zero 70 KaSat

Ultra Compact KA-SAT vehicle system

The GC-Zero 70 K solves the needs of Broadcast

professionals with a professional antenna system

The very low profile ( 240 mm ) antenna ensures

that vehicle heights are not compromised by the fitting

of the comminications system

Fit and Forget ' reliability with long, reliable proven

quality in the harshest of conditions

Applications

SD and HD Broadcast for IP TV and IP Radio with MPEG 4 coders for Breaking News and sports

Inmarsat Terminal and ISDN replacement

Functionality

With fully automatic pointing the system is simple to set up and use. A simple user interface

requires no special training but gives the operator full control if required.

A choice of controllers gives single button auto find on all and with options of manual control,

two different displays and diagnostic capibilitys

Design

The system has been designed taking into account Dawson's extensive experience to make the

solution light, rugged and fast to deploy but wile still retaining the Dawson reputation for quality

and value with the system costing a fraction of competitive equipment

Ease of use

The system operates from Dawson embedded software that is pre programmed to search for KA-SAT

required satellite interfacing and controlling the modem. The operational interface is a button

Optionally the controller also provides manual control of the antenna if required as well as diagnostics

to assist with the unlikely event of fault finding. There is even an option of a hand held

controller that can be operated from outside the vehicle connected via a CAT 5 cable

Compatibility

With the system so light and compact it can be fitted to virtually any base vehicle. Customers

have already chosen small hatchbacks to articulated trailers to fit the systems to. Its small

surface area and wide base plate make the interface easy and fast to install
